"It’s not terribly difficult for an individual or a duo to sit down and play a song on an acoustic guitar and be entertaining. To do an entire evening and keep it fresh and invigorating is another story. I have no doubt that either Andrew and Zach would excel on their own in this regard but having them together, accompanying each other with drums, mandolin, flat steel guitar and pitch perfect harmonies was just spectacular."

Andrew Smith's latest CD 'THE WORLD HAS WINDOWS' is a singer-songwriter collection including the award-winning 'Rite of Passage' plus two new tap-style acoustic guitar instrumentals.
